Please add Object IDs to the imported nodes

Maybe setting the "Add class as metadata" option is useful for you.
You could then set the class attribute to e.g. "TeleporterEntry" and after import it should show up in the metadata.
Would this be an acceptable solution for you?

Besides that you can always add a custom property e.g. "object_id" and set it to some value to identify it.
Every custom property which is not a godot internal one is added to the metadata.

PS ok, I now have understood the problem, the 3 is coming from Tiled internally.
I have yet to think about that.

Ok, I'll implement it in a future release.

In the meantime I see two possible workarounds:

1. Change the custom property 'exit' to type string and give it the value 'TeleporterExit'.

or

2. Add to TeleporterExit a custom property of name 'object_id' and of type object and link it to itself.
   This way a change of the id in Tiled should be automatically be reflected in a change of this value.

Very good, thank you! I have "hacked" a workaround until then. In the beginning of the function handle_object (in TilemapCreator.gd) I remember the object id:

func handle_object(obj: Dictionary, layer_node: Node, tileset: TileSet, offset: Vector2) -> void:
var obj_id = obj.get("id", null)

Further down every time the "class" metadata is set I also set the object id. For instance:

if _add_class_as_metadata and class_string != "":
obj_sprite.set_meta("class", class_string)
if obj_id != null:
obj_sprite.set_meta("id", obj_id)

I'm not remotely sure if that is correct but it works for my use case for now.

Maybe setting the "Add class as metadata" option is useful for you.

This is an indication for me that I might have picked the right places :)

Add to TeleporterExit a custom property of name 'object_id' and of type object and link it to itself.
This way a change of the id in Tiled should be automatically be reflected in a change of this value.

That is very clever! This even works when you copy/paste the object. The property becomes a self reference of the new object.

Just released v1.6.2 where I added a new option 'add_id_as_metadata' working similar like 'add_class_as_metadata'.
I choose to guard it by that option because you never know if someone might not like that.

Thank you very much! I plan to integrate the new release during this week.

Works perfectly for me. The issue can be closed as far as I'm concerned.
